Acinar-Cell Carcinoma, Pancreas, Rat

  • Chapter
Digestive System

Part of the book series: Monographs on Pathology of Laboratory Animals ((LABORATORY))

Abstract

Spontaneous acinar-cell carcinoma of the rat pancreas has rarely been described grossly. In one case, confluent yellow to white nodules formed a flat mass 10×5×7 mm in the pancreas adjacent to the stomach (Benitz and Roth 1980), while in another case, the tumor was made up of hard, glistening, grape-like nodules in the mesentery (Naumann and Kunstyr 1982).
